Vitor is now mentally stronger than he was in the Anderson fight and Anderson is mentally weaker.
Due to Anderson fighting like he did against Diaz, I see Vitor pulling off the upset.

Kennedy now has yet another reason to be pissed. I like that fight they made but now who is Kennedy going to fight?
Maybe Machida or Loser of Romero/ Jacre?

I totally agree but man they could really promote I guy like Kennedy. Top armed forces bad ***, great everywhere, and puts on entertaining fights. Plus you don't have to worry on Tim getting in trouble. I'd say give him Machida, Diaz, or Romero if he losses. Other than that. Back to the thread I would have liked to see Anderson fight another fight before Vitor like a Shogun catch weight, Mousasi, or Bisping. Let Vitor take on Tim, Machida, or loser of one of the 194 MW's

I disagree that Vitor is mentally stronger. Beating a 44 year old man on a 2-5 run does not equate to mental strength. Having not panicked when Weidman put him on his back was an actual test of mental strength and Vitor failed it miserably.
As far as Silva and the Diaz fight, I think people are way underestimating Diaz's ability to box. That's the main thing the Nick does well and Anderson beat him 5 rounds to 0 in essentially a four ounce glove kickboxing match.
I do agree that Silva's confidence is somewhat shot. But TRTless Vitor isn't the guy to expose that.

I honestly still see Vitor KO'ing him. Andersons chin is going quick they need to match him up with guys he's just way faster Shogun or guys with little power Bisping

One of my most anticipated fights coming up.
How can it not be. Their first fight lived completely up to expectation.
The Holm KO of Rousey was akin to the Silva KO of Belfort in terms of me running around a room cheering and yelling "holy f*ck!"

Never Forget. Literally my favorite Anderson Silva moment. I remember that day like it was yesterday.

Even though both guys are tainted, I still have love for Anderson. At the very least he had an excuse for getting caught juicing with such a bad leg break. I would have been happier with him if he recovered from in naturally, but then again you don't recover well from a break like that.
Hope Silva pulls through here.

You know he didn't use the leg break as his reason for failing the test right? If he'd used steroids recovering from the leg break, they'd have been out his system by the time he was tested.
